re: Speeding Camera Ban On Interstates

The legislators felt that banning the cameras on interstates was a "gimme" and would make it look like they were doing something. Fact, politicians always look for the legislation that will upset the fewest folks. Not the legislation that is the best.

If they banned all speed cameras, there would be major pushback from municipalities that are taking in the cash. No one has the interstate cameras yet and everyone agrees that getting them is ludicrous. This was pre-emptive and much easier than fixing the true issue of getting them out of towns as well.
